Prosy is three weeks old and lives in Uganda with her family. She has developed pneumonia, and as a result she is lethargic and has difficulty breastfeeding. Prosy is the fourth child to her parents, Stidia and Alex.
Stidia and Alex do farm labor for a living. Stidia works cultivating land, and is in most cases paid back a days’ wage in return with food for her family whereas Alex works in tea plantations picking tea.
Prosy is the fifth child in her family and all her other siblings attend a local school in the primary level. Stidia hopes that when Prosy recovers, she can nurse her, and when she grows old, join her siblings in obtaining an education which her mother never got.
During her free time, Stidia enjoys meeting with other women in the community and worshiping at their church. She also sings in their church choir.
“I thank the people donating to my child’s treatment,” Stidia shared. “Supporting people that do not afford gives hope to the needy and a reason to smile and working harder to be better. I pray that God blesses the donor.”
